The invention provides for a method of suppression of volcanic dust in a volcanic dust plume and accompanied corrosive vapors, the method comprising: upon occurrence of a volcanic eruption, flying at least one tanker airplane into a flying position above the rising dust plume, and spraying by the at least one tanker airplane at least one of a first fluid and a second fluid into the dust plume, the first fluid comprising a scrubbing agent that removes or neutralizes at least one corrosive vapor included in the dust plume, and the second fluid comprising a water soluble polymer flocculant. The invention further comprises a tanker airplane suitable for carrying out such method.
